HOWLQ 'MMQ OPERATION SHAVING CREAM Give 'em a break You were an eighth grader once. ven though most high school students always talk about how silly the whole thing is, you can tell they have a good time dressing up like id- iots, running around breaking confetti-filled eggs on each other, and basically just reliv- ing Cmaybe for the last timel their junior school silliness. Howdy Week was a little dif- ferent this year, starting with Monday. Instead of being Howdy to Teachers, it was Howdy to New Students, with no dressing up. Also, on Monday there was a motiva- tional assembly sponsored by Pepsi and KTFM, a local radio station. Another addition to the week was the Miss Irresistable Contest. It started in second period on Monday when all the boys in the school got name tags. The point of the contest was simple: out of class, boys weren't supposed to talk to girls, and the girls were sup- posed to get the boys to talk to 18 Calender them. If he talked to her, she got his name tag. On Tuesday at the end of school, the girls turned in their name tags, and on Wednesday the winner was announced. To back up a day, Tuesday was also Howdy to Fresh- men Day, but there was still no dressing up, so nobody real- ly paid any attention anyway. Cn Wednesday, the fun fi- nally started with Howdy to Sophomores Day and Camou- flage Dress up Day. Sometimes it was hard to tell if you were in the classroom or the under- brush. Thursday was Howdy to Juniors Day and Hat Day, with a hat contest in Main Hall during lunch. The contestants were judged on crowd appeal, and Student Council gave out prizes, in the true essence of the week, to the best three hats. Friday was, of course, Howdy to Seniors Day as well as Beach Bum Dress Up Day. Students could actually wear shorts C They must be i good taste! on orders froi higher upb. Though many sti dents thought the administr. tion planned it, it was ju Mother Nature's cruel sense 1 humor that made the one dz shorts were allowed too cold ' enjoy it. The Howdy Parade, fro: Cambridge to the high schoc started off the evening events. This year's Howc Night was the best ever, wi1 over 310,000 made. One of tl high points was the boo1 decorating contest, in whic the National Honor Societ was third, the Keywanettr got second, and the Junie Class took first. You could almost see the r pressed child coming out people, whether they we: stuffing their faces with cottc candy or sausage, dunkir that teacher who gave me U, or looking for someone ' attack with their last squirt shaving cream.
